Top Working From Home Ideas Of 2020

A few decades ago, working from home ideas were highly unprofitable. Very few people were able to work from the comfort of their homes, and at their own risk. Back then, when the internet was just a concept, working from home was very rare. However, today, working from home is a huge benefit for humankind.

You can wake up late and start working ASAP, without wasting precious time dressing up, eating, or commuting to work. You can save up to 4 hours a day on commuting, dressing or eating, by simply staying home. Heck, you can even order food at home with Uber Eats and enjoy a healthy diet without having to waste precious time waiting for your order at the restaurant.

Work From Home Ideas

1 ==> Sell Products Online

[divider style='full']

Sell Products OnlineSelling products is a great way to make a passive income for the years to come. You can start selling almost anything you want, including diapers or food. To be successful in this business, you need to inform yourself very well on how to run a business online.

You need to start by looking for an affordable domain, plus hosting. Then, you need to create your own site and make it sales-ready. For example, you can choose WordPress and simply purchase an eCommerce template. You could then install a widget like Ecwid that lets you start selling anywhere, including on social media platforms.

Next on, you need to add other widgets, including a payment gateway. However, that’s just half of the business. The other half involves finding a manufacturer and a dropshipping company. You basically want to create your own brand and have the products shipped from China directly to your buyers’ addresses.

If you choose to go and sell products on Amazon, you can easily capitalize on Amazon’s FBA tool. Amazon promises you to take care of all the delivery and storage in your place. This gives you more time to run your business and advertise your products.

By selling products online, you could become really successful and you could create a 100% passive income. You can hire someone to manage all your products and sales while you go on vacation. However, that lies far away in the future. It takes at least two years to scale up your business and start making over $10k a month.

2 ==> Become a Freelance Writer

As a writer, you can start small and only work a few hours a day. You can start on several platforms, but note that you need to invest time in order to scale up. After a few months, you can start earning more money for the same word-count. For example, on iWriter, you can earn $7 for 1,000 words as a standard writer, but after two months you can become an elite writer and make $14. If you’re good enough and you get to elite plus, you get $30 for each article. On People Per Hour or Fiverr, you can easily find jobs where you earn $50 for a single piece.

The great news with freelance writing is that you can find any kind of topic that’s of interest to you. You can even write on topics you know nothing about. This allows you to expand your knowledge and fine-tune your writing skills, while also growing your vocabulary. In addition to the financial reward you get by writing articles, blog posts, press releases or eBooks, you also get the reward of knowing that your content is somewhere out there, being read by thousands of people a day.

  1. I want to start by just saying Bravo! This article truly covers the main ways people are making money online today. I know that I always wanted to be a youtuber growing up in this younger generation where that’s all I see kids my age doing. It’s hard to turn away from something like that when you see others your age profiting handsomely from it. I will say though I find an interest in almost every topic you covered in this article. How do you think one starts creating their own audiobooks and branding them within their own site? I’d love your thoughts on this one since I actually just started with Wealthy Affiliate, which is one of the affiliate programs you mentioned. Thanks in advance!

    • Thank you for the kind remarks. Audiobooks can be created for sale on Amazon with Audible. Here is a link to a free kindle book on how to go it: https://amzn.to/2yAP4k5 I have never created an audiobook myself but I know that they are very popular and a good way to make money online if you do it right.

  2. Thank you for your post. I started my online business this year and am actively looking for ideas of making money. All your 6 suggestions are valid.

    I am interesting in selling product online, particularly selling products through Amazon. I did some research and found that it is possible to make profits by importing products from China and selling them on Amazon. I like the Fulfill By Amazon. I just need to ship the products from China directly to Amazon warehouse and Amazon takes care of ship and customer services. I just need to focus on marketing. I think it is workable idea.

    It is nice of you sharing this useful information with us.

    • Hi Anthony. There are so many ways to make money online but these 6 I believe are the top ones for 2019. I have not tried buying products from China to sell on Amazon but I have heard it can be a lucrative venture to start. Although I would warn you to make sure the products you are importing from China are of good quality and that they are not counterfeit. 

      Here’s a link to an article about it:

      https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-fake-products-project-zero

      Amazon is cracking down on counterfeit items on their selling platform. If the items that are being sold from China are counterfiet you will have your business shut down in a heartbeat. So I would do some investigating before importing from China. A Google search about the company you are thinking of working with from China will save you a lot of problems down the road.

  3. Thank you Cory for these great working from home ideas for 2019 and beyond. I can definitely say with an authority that being able to work from home is a GREAT feeling of both success and financial security.

    I got my first taste back in 2005 when the company I worked for encouraged many of us to work from home as a way to increase employees but save on office space. This saved me money and time because I didn’t have to commute to work.

    This experience taught me how to be a disciplined worker at home. One big drawback to working from home is not being focused enough to actually work. There will always be some sort of distraction that you must avoid to be successful.

    Then after the economy crash in 2008 and many traditional jobs like mine closed and I found myself unemployed, I started seeking ways to work at home on the internet. Selling products was the first thing I did. This worked well.

    But I was still looking for something a bit easier yet still just as if not more lucrative. That is when I found affiliate marketing. Once I realized that many of the retailers we all shop at have affiliate programs, I jumped at that opportunity.

    This form of self employment taught me how to build my own WordPress website and learn a lot about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In turn it also taught me how to become a better and effective content writer.

    Now I make my income doing both affiliate marketing and freelance writing, helping small companies and other affiliate marketers by writing content for their websites. My next endeavor is to learn YouTube marketing.

    Thanks to your post and explanation on using YouTube, I have an idea on how I will increase and spread my brand as well as start a new source of income on the internet. I am excited for the future and encourage others to take your advice.

    • Hey Robert,

      Sounds like you have plenty of experience at working from home. What I like about working for myself is the time freedom that I get when there are little things that pop up from time to time I can usually go take care of them without having to worry about giving leave notice to an employer. Although one must be disciplined to make sure you actually do the work but usually when and where it gets done is up to you!

      Another part of working from home that’s a plus is the lack of commuting and the money you save from not having to drive long distances to and from work.

      YouTube is something you will want to start learning and utilizing especially if you are working in the field of affiliate marketing. Video is big and getting bigger every day. I believe in the future YouTube and video for that matter are going to be an integral part of any online business that we might be in.
